INTRODUCTION
This guide to the Harvard citation style explains the components of citation
entries, as well as providing examples of cited books, journals and electronic
media among many other potential sources.
The aim is to provide an easy to follow format that will cover most queries about
the Harvard style. According to Pears and Shields (2013, xiv) 'there is no single
authority to define 'Harvard'; hence there are many versions, with slight
variations, of the systems in use'.
Citation Styles
There are many different citation styles, which have been developed for
particular subject areas. For example the MLA style for Humanities, or APA for
Psychology. Therefore, you should always check with your School or lecturer
about what type of citation style is required. Many Schools will provide their own
guide.
Finally and most importantly:

Remember that the source you use in an essay or thesis needs to be referenced. It
demonstrates that you are not claiming work that is not your own, but also that
your research is built on strong academic foundations. Any type of plagiarism is
unacceptable.
For further information about referencing, reference management software and

citation styles please consult the Library website at:
http://www.library.nuigalway.ie/support/training/usefulguides/
guidetomanagingyourreferences/
You may also view a module on Referencing and Understanding Plagiarism

which is available on The Learning Centre (Skills4StudyCampus) on Blackboard.

BOOKS
GENERAL RULES:
1. AUTHORS
• Single author: Surname first, initials of forename(s) eg Mulligan, J.
• Two authors: use above form with & between them eg Mulligan, J. & Flanagan, E.
• Three authors: cite all with comma after the first and & after the second
eg Mulligan, J., Flanagan, E. & Kelly, H.
• More than three: cite the first only followed by et al. eg Mulligan, J. et al.
• If the book is compiled by an editor insert (ed.) or (eds.) after the name eg Mulligan, J. (ed.)
• If publications are produced by a society; professional body; company, use the

organisation or company as a corporate author eg Coopers & Lybrand
• A government publication should begin with the country: eg Ireland. Department of

Health and Children
2. SECONDARY REFERENCING
Secondary referencing is citing/referencing a work that has been cited in another

source, without having seen the original source.
EXAMPLE:
In text:
According to Colluzzi and Pappagallo (2005, cited in Holding et al, 2008) most patients
given opiates do not become addicted to such drugs.

BOOKS
3. CITING A DIRECT QUOTATION
If a direct quote from a book (or article, etc) is used you must:
• Use single quotation marks (double quotation marks are usually used for quoting direct
speech) and
• State the page number
EXAMPLE:
In text:
Simons et al (2001, p4) state that, to date, the discipline of nursing ‘has no central focus, only
loose and largely unverified domains of knowledge’.
4. PLACES OF PUBLICATION
If there is more than one place of publication listed eg London, New York, Philadelphia,
etc use the first place named.
